3 weeks.
Posted On 09/03/2009 06:14:28 by jenn

Yesterday made 3 weeks since my last use of painkillers, and my suboxone induction. The suboxone is doing it's job wonderfully - physically I feel great, and my cravings are almost non exsistent.

Emotionally and spiritually I've made very little progress, though. Yesterday was my first real appointment with my counselor at an out patient program I am involved in now. He gave me a worksheet with some "homework" that includes listing 3 big problems I want to tackle. I'm pretty intimidated. I'm also nervous about my first group meeting tonite.

Jenn -


     Sounds like you may be doing better than you think. "Feeling" better cannot do anything but improve your emotional state. Taking bites out of your problems and developing a support structure is a big start on serious spiritual and emotional progress. Don't be intimidated,...


YFIR,

This IS progress...you have been clean and sober for three whole weeks! When is the last time that has happened? Give yourself credit where it is due, and trust the process. hugs

The fact that you FEEL nervous is a good thing, in my humble opinion. For one thing, it means that your are FEELING your FEELINGS. Another is that you know deep down that there will be change and your mind and heart are becoming prepared for that. Good for you... keep taking baby steps one at a time, as Isiah491421 has so aptly said.

Great news!   and emotionally and spiritually you have made progress-

you are one being- there is overlap- what we do in one area

overflows to the others. Breath! Bring the body the mind will follow.

One day at a time, like you have been!   3 areas /problems?

Living clean& sober today, a faith that works, & a sponsor to work the steps

with ! If your counselor is in recovery- he will understand this.

the rooms are full of   " friends we haven't met yet"
